ABUSE claims are taken seriously, church representatives have said after a choir conductor was jailed.
David Everett, of Hankinson Road in Bournemouth, was a member and conductor of the Priory Church Choir in Christchurch when he sexually abused a teenage boy in the early 2000s.
As reported in the Daily Echo, Everett was approaching middle age at the time of the offences.
At a sentencing hearing held at Bournemouth Crown Court, Judge Peter Crabtree OBE said the defendant was “trusted” by the victim’s parents.
